MS Told Me To "Have a Disney Day"

[wildernessDad]

Wrote a letter to DVC MS asking about a WL for Kidani, asking whether it would open up when more inventory was declared in September.

Was told that my wait list would match when someone chooses to 'modify or cancel' their reservation. Nothing was mentioned about the new inventory.

Anyway, at the end of email I was told to "Have a Disney Day." She didn't tell me to "Have a magical day." Some of you out there know what "Have a Disney Day" means. I do. I replied and told her to have a Disney day as well.



I wasn't mad in my original email and complimented MS within the email, so I don't know why I got that in reply.

Is this some "secret code"? What is the hidden meaning of "Have a Disney Day"?

 

[oakmanner]

It's a state of mind

What is the hidden meaning of "Have a Disney Day"?

The equivalent of a Flight Attendant saying "buh-bye!"

I'm sure that if you google 'have a disney day' you will find the answer quickly enough. Decorum prevents me from saying it here.

Ohhhh!

All I can think of now is that Saturday Night Live skit with David Spade

My guide has his voice mail message end with "have a disney day". I wouldn't think he means what some comments on google says it means. I hope this isn't the case anyways.

I HAD to google to see what it meant exactly WD - I hope that's not how the CM was using it!

What I did notice is that they are going to be releasing a pin with that saying on! I'm wondering if someone in mgmt or marketing wasn't let in on the code and decided to make it the new slogan. We may all be hearing that more!

I just had to google it too!!! LOL!!!!!

Oh my, I hope that is not what the CM meant!!!!

I actually may use that line if I run into a rude guest!!! LOL

i just googled it myself you dont even have to click into the link its right there on the top of the day...OMG...thats WILD...I hope that is not what the CM meant in anyway shape or form....geez louise

Have a Magical Day can be used this way too.

It's more the inflection and/or tone of voice than the words themselves.

If you look at the posting of that Urban Dictionary, that particular entry was posted in 2005, 4 years ago. I've heard DLR CMs use that phrase in merchandising and with a smile in a good mood. "Have a Disney Day or Have a Magical Day" don't automatically mean it's the urban meaning. Unless there was a tense exchange with a CM, I don't think I would even think of that. I believe that there are CMs that say that every day, love their jobs and want to provide guests with the best Disney experience and don't even know about the "urban meaning".

 

[bumbershoot]

Yeah, urban dictionary sometimes has some strange ideas...I barely trust them at all.

 

[wildernessDad]

I knew of this before looking at the urban dictionary. You're probably right that the CM didn't know what it meant. Like I said, I was very gracious in my email. I think MS is doing a great job.

Years ago - I'm talking back in the 80's, there was a channel on all the Disney hotel room TV's that gave a few little bits of info for the day like park hours, weather forecast, etc. Disney music played and as the different messages passed by, one of them said "Have a Disney Day". I didn't then and would have no reason now, regardless of what some urban dictionary says, to take that in a negative way. A "Disney Day" is one of the best days I could imagine!

 

[wildernessDad]

Note that the origin of this term is not the Urban dictionary. They've just picked it up and included it with their other terms. Oh well, I thought it interesting. The CM most likely did not know the behind-the-scenes meaning.

You know, Google is faster than I thought at picking things up. I googled "Have a Disney Day" and it showed me this thread.

Me too... I googled it this morning and found the link back for this thread too. Like other posters, I really didn't have a clue about the "urban" meaning of the phrase...I even had it as part of my siggie for a while. However since you just never know how someone else will interpret your inflection via email or an online posting (and I certainly don't mean it in the urban sense) and not wanting to rile anyone's feathers unwittingly, I've removed that from my siggie.

 

[pixystickgrl]

I'm a CM and I was trained to tell every guest to have a magical day. def doesn't always mean ...... that

The equivalent of a Flight Attendant saying "buh-bye!"

And akin to "be blessed" on a message board.
